but I keep hearing on the news, that that isn’t exactly true
Some days I win and some I loose, but how I feel about it I can choose
[F]Just because it’s [Am]true, [Bb]doesn’t mean it’s [F]easy
But [F]holy moly [Am]how I feel, [Bb]is actually up to [F]me,
It’s [Bb]only up to [F]me
I wouldn’t blame someone for the stupid moron thoughts I’ve had
and I don’t let other people, make me do things I think are bad
but somehow it seems normal for someone else to made me sad
I was driving down the road, feeling pretty low
my first world woes, were really getting my goat
When I happened to read a book that said that’s so-not the way to go
It’s not an easy thing, deciding how I feel
but compared to feeling dealt, it’s a much sweeter deal
I’d rather drive my car with my hands on the wheel
Pretty much up to me
A simple happy life, ain’t quite as simple as I thought
No matter what I win, I still want to improve my lot
every time I get something, there’s another thing I want
Every day has some excuse, for joy and for the blues
I only have to look around, or listen to the news
Whichever mood I choose starts a feedback loop
a lousy attitude, leads to (making) lousy moves
The more that I am glad, the more I see reason for gratitude
What-ever-thing I step in, ends up stuck on my shoes
Sort of just...
The way that I am feeling, is a self reinforcing thing
It’s sounds kinda weird, to plan out my feelings
But every kind of master does/ seems to do this kind of thing
they can walk in to a room and say: now I will feel grand
So if I want to find my groove, I got to make my own plan
Work it out and write it down and tell it to my friends
Set aside a moment, from dealing with my mess
Take the time to focus, on (all) the ways that’s I’ve been blessed
remembering the folks, who live with/have so much less
Totally
It’s actually not the first time, that I’ve learned all this
And there’s more to life than my own bliss, and corny self-help tricks
But if I could remember this, that would make a huge difference
Sometimes all it takes to get my mojo back
Run some laps or take a nap, or do some jumping jacks
The thing that really matters is the will to get on track
Actually bothering to smile, at the miracle of sunrise
Cherishing the gifts, that the universe supplies
add them to my list, and delight in each surprise
Really
